Guwahati: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today met victims of ethnic violence in relief camps and held discussions with Bodoland Territorial Council leaders on the prevailing situation in Assam.

Gandhi, who arrived in Kokrajhar on a day-long visit to violence affected Bodoland Territorial Administered District (BTAD) and Dhubri, visited Kathalguri and Gambaribeel Relief camps.

He would later go to Salakati in Kokrajhar besides two relief camps in Dhubri district.
